AMERICAN SNIPE 



39 



fifty or sixty snipe in the air at one time, circling and 

 drumming; in fact, every snipe on the marsh appeared 

 to be up in the air. I need hardly say that on such 

 occasions the bag was small. In those good old times 

 I remember in the month of October making a bag of 

 105 snipe in one day; the day was a bright, warm, still 

 day."
